I have a Maytag...

I have a Maytag MDB8969SDM3 dishwasher it fills with water then just does a buzzing/humming noise for a few seconds then stops and buzzes again then stops and buzzes again it does drain the water when I cancel it but it will not wash on any cycle.

Contractor's Assistant: Can you guesstimate how old your Maytag is? And just to clarify, what's the exact model?

If the dishwasher fills and then it just buzzes, either your circulation pump has failed or something is jamming the pump. If it's less than a year old, just call warranty. If it's over a year old, you'd need to uninstall the dishwasher and remove the pump below the tub. Then check inside to see if anything is jamming the impeller. If not, then the pump will need to be replaced and it's about $100. Below is a link to the pump.
